Affordable Houston Dental Implants
A standard dental implant next to a mini implant
Most people who wear removable dentures would like to have their own natural teeth back. Even the best dentures can’t compare in comfort or function with teeth that are anchored into the jawbone.
With dental implants, it’s like getting your own teeth back. There is no more sliding around of your teeth, no embarrassment or fear that they might come loose at the wrong time, no more messing with gooey denture adhesives, and no more restrictions in your diet.
The problem, however, for many people, is the cost. Fees can quickly add up to be in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Affordable Mini Dental Implants
To meet the needs of people looking for an affordable dental implants solution, we offer mini implants.
- At one-third the diameter of traditional fixtures, mini implants are much easier to place.
- They don’t require a periosteal flap, there is less likelihood of the fixture interfering with other structures, and healing is faster.
- All of these factors contribute to their lower cost.
- Anchoring a denture with mini implants costs roughly half of what traditional dental implants would cost.
